Living Life or Leaving Life

This question has always intrigued me, and this has nothing to do with my stint at Iskcon.

shaam payi muk aasaan gaiyaan
Evening has fallen and my yearnings have reached an end

ni mera chaḍ gaye kaag banera
The crows have flown from their perch above my wall

maape sab sahelaṛiyaan
My parents and all my friends

ni mainoon taa’nah dende tera
Taunt me with my love for you

ho panchhi wi muṛ gharaan noon aande
Even birds come home at the end of the day

kyoon chit naeen karda tera
So why does your heart not urge you to return?

aa sardaar wasa ja jhokaan
Come, my master, and make this dwelling flourish

kadi pa tatṛi wal phera
Come and see this miserable beggar sometime

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

teri deed ghareebaan da hajj ve
Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage for us poor beggars

haaye ve
Oh!

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

teri deed ghareebaan da hajj ve
Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage for us poor beggars

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

saabat rakh pareet noon
Let love remain constant

kite pa watnaan wal phera
And come visit your home sometime

ho panchhi wi muṛ gharaan noon aande
Even birds come home at the end of the day

kyoon chit naeen karda tera
So why does your heart not urge you to return?
(sargam)

‘urfi to may-andesh ze ghaugha-i raqeebaan
Urfi, don’t worry about the uproar your rivals create

aawaaz-i sagaan kam nakunad rizq-i gada ra
The barking of dogs does not diminish the humble beggar’s daily bread
(sargam)

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

teri deed ghareebaan da hajj ve
Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage for us poor beggars

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

nah main sohni nah gun palle
I’m not beautiful, nor have I any great virtues

nah main sohni nah gun palle
I’m not beautiful, nor have I any great virtues

mere ‘aib nimaani de kajj we
Please hide the flaws of this miserable wretch

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

teri deed ghareebaan da hajj ve
Seeing you is the supreme pilgrimage for us poor beggars

kade aa ve maahi gal lag ve
Come sometime, beloved, and gather me to your heart

Hanuman Chalisa Lata Mangeshkar I Shri Hanuman Chalisa

How fortunate we are to hear Lata Mangeshkar Mataji (she is the same age my mother is). Humbled and awe stuck. Jaya Bajrangbali.

Shri guru charan saroj raj nij mane mukure sudhaari
 Varnao raghuvar vimal jasu jo daayaku phal chaari
 Budhi hin tanu janike sumirau pavan kumaram
 Bal budhi vidya dehu mohe harahu kalesavikaar
 
 Jai hanuman gyan gun saagar
 Jai kapis tihun lok ujaagar
 Ram doot atulit bal dhaama
 Anjani-putra pavan sut naama
 Mahavir vikram bajrangi
 Kumati nivaar sumati ke sangi
 Kanchan varan viraaj subesa
 Kaanan kundal kunchit kesaa
 Haath vajra aur dhuvaje viraaje
 Kandhe moonj janehu saaje
 
 Shankar suvan kesri nandan
 Tej prataap maha jag vandan
 Vidyavaan guni ati chaatur
 Raam kaaj karibe ko aatur
 Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiya
 Raam lakhan sita man basiya
 Sukshma roop dhari siyahi dikhaava
 Vikat roop dhari lanka jalaava
 Bhima roop dhari asur sanghaare
 Ramachandra ke kaaj sanvaare
 
 Laaye sanjivan lakhan jiyaaye
 Shri raghuvir harashi ur laaye
 Raghupati kinhi bahut badhaayi
 Tum mam priye bharat-hi sam bhaai
 Sahas badan tumharo yash gaave
 As kahi shripati kanth lagaave
 Sankadik brahmadi muneesa
 Naarad saarad sahit aheesa
 Yam kuber digpal jahan te
 Kavi kovid kahi sake kahan te
 
 Tum upkaar sugreevahin keenha
 Ram milaay rajpad deenha
 Tumharo mantra vibheeshan maana
 Lankeshwar bhay sub jag jaana
 Yug sahastra jo jan par bhaanu
 Leelyo tahi madhur phal jaanu
 Prabhu mudrika meli mukh maahee
 Jaladhi langhi gaye achraj naahee
 Durgaam kaaj jagat ke jete
 Sugam anugraha tumhre tete
 
 Ram dware tum rakhvaare
 Hoat na agya binu paisare
 Sub sukh lahai tumhari sarna
 Tum rakshak kaahu ko darna
 Aapan tej samhaaro aapai
 Teenhon lok haank te kanpai
 Bhoot pisaach nikat nahin aavai
 Mahaavir jab naam sunavai
 Naase rog harai sab peera
 Japat nirantar hanumant beera
 
 Sankat se hanuman chudavai
 Mann karam vachan dyan jo lavai
 Sab par raam tapasvee raaja
 Tinke kaaj sakal tum saaja
 Aur manorath jo koi lavai
 Sohi amit jeevan phal pavai
 Charon yug partap tumhaara
 Hai persidh jagat ujiyaara
 Saadhu sant ke tum rakhwaare
 Asur nikandan ram dulhaare
 
 Ashta sidhi nav nidhi ke dhaata
 Us var deen janki maata
 Raam rasaayan tumhare paasa
 Sada raho raghupati ke daasa
 Tumhare bhajan raam ko pavai
 Janam janam ke dukh bisravai
 Anth kaal raghuvir pur jayee
 Jahaan janam hari-bakht kahayee
 Aur devta chit na dharehi
 Hanumanth se hi sarve sukh karehi
 
 Sankat kate mite sab peera
 Jo sumirai hanumat balbeera
 Jai jai jai hanuman gosahin
 Kripa karahu gurudev ki nyahin
 Jo sat baar paath kare koyi
 Chutehi bandhi maha sukh hoyi
 Jo yah padhe hanuman chalisa
 Hoye siddhi sakhi gaureesa
 Tulsidaas sada hari chera
 Keejai das hrdaye mein dera
        
 Pavantnayi sankat harana mangal murti roopa
 Ram lakhan sita sahita hrdaye basahu sur bhoopa

Sandeep Maheshwari's Inspirational Talk

Sandeep Maheshwari's Inspirational Talk

I liked it for a change. This was a video recommended by youtube, and for a change I watched it. At 2 AM, right! Woke up and was looking at mobile for time-pass and happened to watch it.

Here are the take aways.

1. Firtile Land, for which you should have the right believes
• money is on the tree
• enjoy the work, Hardwork is what you are not enjoying.
• To say is easy however to achieve is difficult
2. Discover the seed (its easy) (the thing you enjoy is your desire)
3. Action
4. share

So, I am not sure how much I agree, but the things did make sense. I stay away from all of these so called inspirational talks, this was good. It's in Hindi, although. The biggest take away from the talk was. 

"Close your eyes and jump". 

We can have hundred of good things in mind, however, at the moment of doing, we falter (he called it paralysis of analysis). Asaan Hai Or its easy is a term he coined, however I have reservations on saying asaaan hai. Some one said rocket since is also easy, and Sandeep started thinking. I think I saw this before, but couldn't recollect where. I get these occasional pauses in my psyche, where it starts to feel I heard or saw these sequence of events, I know more than that moment kind of feeling, hard to describe.

Cheated on road, by a bystander pretending to be blind

So, yes. Again. I was at infantry road, which is one way. A fellow with a blind man's stick was trying to cross a busy junction. I should have guessed there only. However, I went to help him to cross. He started speaking in Kannada. My teammate understood and was reciprocating. He had lost his bus pass and was standing at a corner, where no busses come (I should have guessed now! alas not to be). My teammate gave him Rs. 100. we asked him how he will catch the bus. He said he will go ahead, and he started moving ahead in the right direction, trying to fake he cannot see. Right direction means towards the direction the traffic was going. Strange, how did he figure out! so we waited at a point and watched him to dupe another gentleman with probably the same story.

Sad Sad Sad.

A Sad song! He stopped loving her today!

 Humbly, the best love songs which will be ever sung. 


Lyrics below for my reading

 He said "I'll love you till I die",
 She told him "You'll forget in time"
 As the years went slowly by,
 She still preyed upon his mind

 He kept her picture on his wall,
 Went half-crazy now and then
 He still loved her through it all,
 Hoping she'd come back again

 Kept some letters by his bed
 Dated nineteen sixty-two
 He had underlined in red
 Every single "I love you"

 I went to see him just today,
 Oh but I didn't see no tears
 All dressed up to go away,
 First time I'd seen him smile in years

 He stopped loving her today
 They placed a wreath upon his door
 And soon they'll carry him away
 He stopped loving her today

 You know, she came to see him one last time
 Aww, and we all wondered if she would
 And it kept runnin' through my mind
 "This time he's over her for good"

 He stopped loving her today
 They placed a wreath upon his door
 And soon they'll carry him away
 He stopped loving her today

my work desk, thought its untidy, but quite comfortable.

After Yahoo!
Work from home after office hours are more possible, hence I have setup a mini office at home. Here is the picture -

Time to move out of flickr? upload fails most of the time

trying an upload for some time and every time gives me "Bonk! errors must be fixed" - which errors?

time to migrate, since all the free space is of no use if the service itself is unreliable. I am not sure anything compares to flickr although :(
